Sparks Fly [Completed]

34. Mother in law

Bed rest... bed rest was horrible. I hated to be in bed or lying on the couch all the time... Seth was a sweetheart, just like Taylor. They did everything for me. I was pretty happy I could go to the bathroom by myself. 
Now Taylor had to go back home to help her mom in the store... they were actually doing pretty good these days. Maybe because they had the last updates about me. I was the talk of the town... great. 

Taylor left this morning with loads of tears. She assured me to come back once the baby would be born... maybe earlier... She actually had a crush. I had never seen Taylor having a Crush but she did... It was a handyman. A guy who did stuff in the house that was pretty old. He was nice but had no idea she was falling for him big time. 

I was on the couch... as usual watching this silly movie. I was even dozing of a little when the bell rang. I moved to get. 
"Don't move Em! I will open up!" Seth's voice stopped me. He was rushing of the stairs and I sighed. I hated bed rest! I still had to keep up with it, my stress levels and blood pressure were still to high. I had weekly check ups with a new doctor who even came to the house. I really tried to calm down and all. I really couldn't help it that I still had nightmares.
Almost every night I would wake up screaming waking up Seth too of course.
The dreams were different every night... or day. I sometimes even had them when I slept on the couch.   

I sighed pulling my shirt up... this was a thing I did too when I was by myself or couldn't sleep. Talking to our little munchkin. She was growing perfectly. Maybe a tiny bit to small but nothing we had to worry about the doctor had said. 
"I know I do this for you but it's annoying sitting on this stupid couch all day Munchkin" I told it. We had no idea if it was a girl or a boy... Both me and Seth decided we wanted to be surprised. I put my hands on my tummy and sighed. "How are you in there?" I asked. Like it wanted to give and answer I felt a kick making me smile. "No you are not allowed out yet... alt least what did they say... at least ten more weeks... longer... although. I will go crazy if I have to stay in bed that long" 

"You already sound pretty crazy Em" Seth said behind me softly chuckling. 
"Oh fuck of Seth! You were having whole conversation's with Munchkin this morning" I turned my head to give him the glare of death. Seth... wasn't alone. He was joined by an woman who I knew to be his mother. 
She smiled at me "Hey Emily, good to finally see you" She smiled. I turned red. "I am sorry... I didn't mean to..." I bit my lip. Great... meeting his mom and I told Seth to fuck of. 
I got up to shake hands with Seth's mom. He opened his mouth to tell me not to but I gave him a warning look. 
"Don't mess with a pregnant woman Seth" She smiled at him and shook my head.
"You are just as beautiful as when you first arrived in town" She told me. I had no idea how to respond.
"Of course I knew right away Seth had a big old crush on you"  She grinned and Seth's cheeks turned red. 
He was damn adorable when he got like this. She looked over at him and chuckled... She looked exactly like him doing that. 
"Mom... could you please not" Seth muttered while he walked up to me and kissed my forehead. "You need to sit baby" He whispered. 

I sighed "Okay" I muttered and did as he said pulling my legs underneath me. 
"I will get you some tea mom, please sit. You want tea too right Em?" He disappeared to the kitchen before I could answer. 

Seth's mother sat down and looked at me for a while before she started talking. "You know...I never raised my boy to be a home wrecker. Still I think he got you away from a pretty horrible situation" 
This lady was definitely straight to the point. I had no idea again how to answer her. 
"I had hoped he would have waited a little longer with reproducing" She smiled widely pointing at my stomach. 
I cringed a little, in my mind she was judging me. Which of course she wasn't. Meanwhile our munchkin seemed wide awake and was kicking big time. 
My hand was on my stomach and I probably looked a little away in thoughts when she spoke again. 
"Is it kicking?" She asked. I looked up and nodded. She smiled a little, it was a sad smile. Why was she sad?
"Do you... do you wanna feel?" I asked. It was weird... I didn't let most people get close to my stomach because... well I just had my reservations. I just had the feeling she really wanted to experience this. 
She nodded but didn't reach out right away. 
"Only if you are really okay with it" She told me. 
It was super nice she thought of me but I nodded. "It's alright" I reached out to take her hand and put it in the spot Munchkin was trying to get out.
